Description:

Welcome to The Spine and Health Center of Montvale Physical Therapy!

When our physical therapists see you for the first time, they examine and evaluate you and develop a plan of care that promotes the ability to move, reduces pain and aims to return you to your prior level of function. You and your physical therapist will then work side-by-side to make sure that the goals of the plan of care are met. Therapeutic exercise and functional training are the cornerstones of physical therapist treatment. Depending on the particular needs of a patient, our physical therapists may mobilize a joint (that is, perform certain types of passive movements at the end of the individual’s range of motion) or massage a muscle to promote proper movement and function. Our physical therapists may use other modalities such as electrotherapy, ultrasound (high-frequency waves that produce heat), hot packs, laser, mechanical traction and ice in addition to other treatments when appropriate. Our physical therapists also will work with you to prevent loss of mobility by developing fitness- and wellness-oriented programs for a healthier and more active lifestyle.
